as long as it's sealed it should be fine. I've taken mine through once before (it looked white with dust and I was desperate to get it clean :() and my spoiler was fine. It's a S2, which I put on myself. So you should be fine. My only issue was it took part of my SAUWA sticker off ;)

i think the whole wash is around 27bux... it isnt like the BP fuel station ones it uses long peices of fabric instead and then they run around ure car and shammy it down for u and do the interior... it is really worth it... if they do a good job which these guys do i will try to find the name of it

Theres a "touchless" car wash in Malaga that works quite well. No chance of scratches.

Obviously it wont get off bugs on the front bar thats been cooked on their for a week but for a quick tidy up its fine. If im lazy, i use it on the way to work on a saturday morning :laugh:

finished work and went straight to alexander drv carwash. washed my car and then wiped it down till there was no water spots... i drove to a park near my house and there are the yellow lights on the road so i parked my car under there and just staired at it, drooled about too... gotta love how a pearl white car looks under the orange lights...

dont tell my gf but i love my car more than her

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
